I am so fucking sick of #Amazon #PrimeDay. 90% of my "Technology" feed in #GoogleNews is nothing but PrimeDay ads masqueraded as legit "stories" by tech bloggers and publications.
Since #Google #News doesn't give you the option to block based on "keywords" (a'la 'Prime Day' and the like) I've been going in and basically marking every keyword, brand, and anything else loosely related and tell Google I'm "not interested" in this shit.
I fucking hate Google but hands down it's still the best resource for me to get news. Sorry, but FlipBoard doesn't cut it. And Microsoft's "news" is a joke.
📨 Today, EDRi and 51 civil society organisations, academics, and experts have written to the European Commission to oppose any attempts to suspend or delay the #ArtificialIntelligence #AI Act.
These attempts, especially in light of the growing trend of #deregulation of #FundamentalRrights and environmental protection, could undermine accountability and hard-won rights for people, the planet, justice and democracy 🚨
Ever wondered why car ergonomics have gone down the drain as touch screens replaced buttons to drive down costs? This reader comment on an FT article on the topic says it all.
— BOTGR: I used to be a dog handler-in-training on a FEMA urban search and rescue team (NE-TF1). The red tape and delays involved in getting the team to Ground Zero after 9-11 were ridiculous, let alone being deployed to smaller incidents.
Drove the search teams crazy, since there’s a limited window of opportunity to find survivors. It wasn’t unusual for someone to say, “Why are we training all our dogs to find live people? We might as well just mostly train cadaver dogs.” 😞
— it was very eye-opening to see the incompetency and sluggishness of the federal bureaucracy, and how it hampered what was otherwise a well trained and highly competent SAR team (thanks entirely to the tireless efforts of local fire departments and various volunteers).
When I started hearing conspiracy rumors that FEMA was hopelessly corrupt, it wasn’t hard for me to believe!

It is not smart to wonder why there are no worthy and competent politicians in the #EU. In fact it makes perfect sense. For 40+ years the #US has been promoting everywhere in the West incompetent, unwilling, obedient puppets, capable only of bowing their heads and agreeing to whatever the #WhiteHouse ordered. Regular YesMen. So you can't demand competence from such useless people. Radical change is the only solution.
Eh... I am going to be on the Doubt column on this one until someone gets more information and other cases.
From my understanding of the way Switch carts are made there is no difference at all between a cart used on a console and the same cart resold for a different console. Nothing is stored to tie carts to hardware or accounts. Carts are meant to work with the multiple accounts on the Switch and with multiple Switch consoles at once, given that Nintendo very much expects to upsell you on a Mini/OLED/Switch 2 whatever.
This guy either a) did something else to trigger the ban, b) bought a bootleg cart somehow, although that doesn't seem like it'd be particularly profitable to sell on Switch, or c) hit a seriously weird bug.
Or, I guess d) is lying about it?
Nintendo is definitely not looking to ban used Switch 1 carts. They literally have no way to do so. There is no tool in the toolset to distinguish a cart someone else bought at the store from your own carts you bought at the store and then moved from a Switch 1 to a Switch 2.
At the absolute most I could entertain that the used cart had been used to make a backup and then the backup got flagged in a different jailbroken console or something, but I don't even know that Nintendo would be able to tell or that it would trip up their banhammer.
That doesn't mean I'm on board with their remote bricking policy, and if this turns out to be a bug or weird edge case it's just another thing to show that their overreach is not gonna play the way they thought it would.
But it is almost definitely not an attempt to ban users for buying used games.
...the way Switch carts are made there is no difference at all between a cart used on a console and the same cart resold for a different console.
IIRC every cartridge has its own cryptographic key and can be uniquely identified. When it became possible to dump game cards and load them on a flash card, there were reports, that it is possible, that this might lead to a detection - as the flashcards need to replicate this key. Now, Nintendo might have no way to tell if you lend the game to someone, of the other switch that uses it bought the game from you, etc. BUT if it is pirated, it's possible to detect, when the original and the copy are played at the same time, as the cartridge cannot be physically in two switches simultaneously. There were never any reports, that someone really got banned because of this, though...
Yes, maybe the seller dumped the cart and is still using it via emulation. Now, the buyer used the same cart with the same crypto key and Nintendo detected two uses at the same time.

@meowski @BlackgendermoderateGood that you researched it. Although there's a lot of rubbish on Wikipedia, but in this case I think it's more the cannibal story.
@Kuenga white people aren't really known for cannibalism or chopping the limbs off small children. although, this is not an endorsement of colonization of africa, or salvery or anything like that, it just seemed like a distortion so i looked into it.
reasons like cannibalism are why africans at that time were believed to be non-human savages

@Kuenga "The ironic part of this story is that Leopold II committed these atrocities by not even setting foot in the Congo"
the crazy thing is that european colonization would have been much more difficult or impossible, if native africans weren't willing to sell their own people into slavery and act as enforcers
@meowski @KuengaI think you're looking for a way to deflect blame or rationalize what Europeans did.
Colonization is rarely possible without some form of compliance, and the French themselves cooperated with Nazis. It's always the case that there's always someone willing to sell out their neighbors for an extra crust of bread. It's also always the case that a region's ethnic groups has pre-existing conflicts.
@Kuenga that wasn't my intention. colonizing africa and transporting them to europe and the americas was probably the biggest mistake europeans ever made
In case you're wondering like I did: unfortunately a European Arrest Warrant offers too many loopholes to act as a guarantee that genocide-complicit countries would be forced to execute it... kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/1148…
#Spain's top criminal court has initiated legal proceedings against #Netanyahu and several senior military officials for alleged war crimes related to the Israeli navy's assault on a Freedom Flotilla ship bound for #Gaza.
The court is evaluating its jurisdiction to open a full criminal case, seeking cooperation with the #ICC, which has already issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu related to the current conflict in Gaza.
Despite pursuing justice against Israeli leaders, Spain continues defense collaborations with Israel, including a recent agreement with Israeli arms manufacturer #Elbit Systems despite the fact that 82% of Spaniards view Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide, according to a survey by the Elcano Royal Institute.

Trump praises Liberian President's English, the official language of the West African nation
President Donald Trump was hosting West African leaders in Washington, where he praised the English of President of Liberia Joseph Boakai and asked where he…
Well, to be completely clear, he IS fascist AND ignorant. (and, in my honest opinion, he's also complete idiot and some other curse words I am not comfortable writing here😉)
Well exactly. I didn't know until now that the official language of Liberia is English, so I was ignorant of that fact (though I'm not the POTUS, and meeting a fellow world leader in an official capacity.) But I'm pretty sure I wouldn't do that condescending racist BS thing of praising the guy's English like it's some kind of shock to me that an African man might speak good English.

🇨🇦 🚫 🇺🇸 📢 Dear US Governors: Begging Canadians to return as tourists is as insulting and absurd as Russia trying to advertise tourism in Ukraine
✅ Your ambassador insults and gaslights ✅ Your members of Congress send letters of complaint about our wildfire smoke while your US company Exxon is the top investor in our oil and gas ( literal gaslighting!) ✅ Your president breaks his very own Big Beautiful Trade Agreement then adds tariffs and threatens to invade Canada ✅ Your border officers reject our citizens and ICE throws Canadians into encampments rather than send them home.
So, please, please explain why in the world would anyone in their right mind desire to to visit the US and spend money that is taxed and eventually goes to support Trump and ICE !
